Remember to adjust the PAPER SURFACE switch for the type of

paper you are using. For coarse paper, set the switch to RGH; for

smooth or thermal paper, set the switch to SMT.

Paper sizes

The printer uses single-sheet paper and handles any paper the width

of the platen (8½ inches) or narrower. You can also use continuous-

feed paper or roll paper.

The right paper holder will not hold paper narrower than 5½

inches. When you use paper that is narrower than 5½ inches, make

sure that the paper stays straight as it is feeding through the printer.

Otherwise, your print lines may slant across the paper.

The lock lever on the left side of your printer serves as a paper

release lever. Notice the words FEED and FREE above and below the

lever. In the FEED position, the roller inside the printer holds the paper

and causes it to feed through the printer. The FREE position allows

you to make adjustments if the paper is not aligned correctly in the

printer.

There are a couple of adjustments to make before loading your

paper. Check to see that the lock lever is in the FEED position and the

paper stand is all the way up. Slide the right holder all the way to the

right side of the printer. Follow these steps to load your paper:

1. Place your paper at the top of the paper guide and slide it under-

neath the left holder (Figure 3-l).

2. Adjust the right holder to the width of the paper (unless your paper

is less than 5½ inches wide).

3. Make sure the paper is straight and placed in the printer as far as it

can go.
